Maggie f. Hale-He hit me on the temple, bruised,
made black place. Didn't know that Mrs. Lambert
was being delivered. He struck once in the face
backed my eye right smartly. 1 was in room where
my daughter was four or five minutes. told my
husband would have him arrested for what he had
done 10 methe night before. He struck me but one
lick, then threw down, and put his hand upon my
mouth. We are not living together. Have not SINCE
had lived together before that for long time.
My eve remained discoored for about week. Was
not hurt in any other way. The reason wasn't here
to go before grand jury, Bertie's children
sick. The little boy very sick.
Mrs. Rairdon-I was present at Lamberts. Mrs.
Hale came in and said she would have him arrested
He had her in the corner, his hand her mouth.
Mr.. Lambert and wanted the DR.. to come to his
wife. They didn't quarrel. She only said she
going to have him arrested, and then went out and
defendant followed her. He had her in the corner
with his hand over her mouth. 1 the bruised
place. He said he had great mind to throw her on
the floor and stamp her. Mrs. Lambert very
much excited and was afraid she would go into

think If had it to do over again believe would
take chair and quiet them her off for while any
way. Lambert went out and tried to quiet her. She
remarked, that she didn't if it killed both of
them. 1t in the interest of child and daughter
that became enraged.
By the CGart.-Court finds that she turned around
and went away and you followed her, appears from
this evidence you say to quiet her; but she says
you threw her upon the floor backened her face, &C.
Now you say you wish you had taken chair. In
this matter it is the right and duty of the Court
take notice of the history of the parties sc. Doctors
ought to know how to treat parties who eNcitable
hysterical &C., and in this doctor ought to
know better, &C. Because this the first offense,
like in the Waverly case, we do not think 1T is a
